Kings' Garret Sparks: Sent to AHL affiliate

Sparks was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Wednesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

Sparks' demotion suggests Cal Petersen may be activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list ahead of Thursday's game versus Vancouver. If that's the case, Sparks is likely in for an extended stay in the minors.
